Favoring Concubines and Neglecting the Wife? The General’s Wife Calls it Quits and Divorces! – Chapter 71

Ch 71: Man Proposes, God Disposes

Second Uncle and Third Uncle, “……”

Guo Liangxian also chimed in, “Come quickly! Second Uncle and Third Uncle, please come inside so we can talk in detail. We’ll give you our entire share for this season!”

“We don’t want it anymore. Since Second Uncle and Third Uncle want it so much, we’ll still have Prince Xian’s support in the future!”

“Don’t hesitate, Fourth Uncle, come in first, it’s warm inside!”

Guo Liangxian urged, taking two steps forward, wanting to help Fourth Uncle walk towards the house.

This made Fourth Uncle tremble with fear and refuse,

“No, no, no, Eldest Grandnephew, don’t tease your Uncle. Your Uncle is old and doesn’t need these worldly possessions. Go find the families of Second Brother and Third Brother!”

Second Uncle and Third Uncle were speechless, “……”

Should they really go in?

What if Lord Xiaozhao asks about it someday?

Although Guo Liangxian is their eldest grandnephew, he is also a general under Prince Xian. Even when bullying a dog, one must consider its master!

If they really went in and took sixty percent, what if their eldest grandnephew felt wronged and complained to Lord Xiaozhao?

Even if they were far away in Lucheng, Prince Xian’s informants and subordinates were everywhere in Lucheng!

After all, Prince Xian’s territory started from Lucheng!

Yuan Xueyue said strangely, “Second Uncle and Third Uncle, why are you still hesitating? We’ll give it now, immediately, we can even give it all!”

“It’s just that, we are afraid you won’t be able to bear it!”

Second Uncle and Third Uncle, “……”

Third Uncle carefully whispered in Second Uncle’s ear, “Forget it! Eldest Grandnephew has Prince Xian’s Residence, after all. If we continue to make trouble, it will be too much!”

“Your Ji Ge’er is under the name of the General’s Wife, why are you still worrying so much?”

“……”

Second Uncle’s eyes were heavy. After thinking it over, he waved his hand,

“Forget it, Eldest Grandniece-in-law, we were just joking.”

Second Uncle smiled, his face stiff.

Yuan Xueyue’s expression became indifferent, “But we weren’t joking. If Second Uncle wants it, feel free to take it!”

“If Lord Xiaozhao asks about the account books later, we can’t disobey!”

Second Uncle was embarrassed, “……Why bother? We are all relatives, family. If you want to give, then give. If you don’t want to give, then don’t. Why the long face?”

“Can’t we make a joke? Seeing how you’ve been hosting so many of us these days, it must be tiring for you.”

Third Uncle chimed in, “That’s right! It’s been hard on Eldest Grandnephew and Eldest Grandniece-in-law. You are both doing great!”

“With Prince Xian’s support and Lord Xiaozhao’s care, if you rise to prominence in the future, just don’t forget about us!”

Yuan Xueyue continued, “Is this considered rising to prominence? This manor, the full harvest is only one or two hundred taels, not even enough for Lord Xiaozhao to pick his teeth with!”

“If you want it, we can give you some!”

Second Uncle shook his head repeatedly and waved his hand, “Forget it, forget it, we were just joking. Niece-in-law, don’t take it to heart!”

Third Uncle also chimed in, “That’s right, that’s right! We’ve seen it, your manor is well-run. We shouldn’t delay, let’s go back to the residence for a meal as soon as possible. The weather is quite cool, don’t stay outside.”

Second Uncle also said, “Yes, in the future, Ji Ge’er will still have to rely on Grandnephew and Grandniece-in-law to take good care of him!”

Fourth Uncle, “……”

Are these families of Second Brother and Third Brother acting in an opera? Changing their faces so quickly!

Guo Liangxian’s eyes were stunned. They immediately scurried towards the carriage, waving at them, urging them to leave this place quickly!

Fourth Uncle, with the help of the servants, also staggered away.

Yuan Xueyue smiled slightly.

They want to take advantage of her? They wish!

Although Guo Liangxian was the one who established the manor, currently, Yuan Xueyue is basically managing the account books, the harvest, and the management.

This silver is Yuan Xueyue’s.

There’s no reason to share it with the Guo family relatives.

Currently, Yuan Xueyue cannot smoothly divorce so quickly. She still needs to satisfy her Mother-in-Law and the General. When she returns to Lucheng, she will talk to that cheap father of hers to facilitate the divorce!

But with Yuan Xueyue’s current ability and status, she can’t shake the General’s Residence, Old Madam Nian, and General Guo Liangxian. It’s even more difficult to persuade her father, the Prefect!

◈◈◈

Her current husband has Prince Xian’s Favor. She doesn’t know how much Prince Xian actually cares, whether it’s just a casual handout or real support.

Her father, the Prefect of Lucheng, is like a Local Emperor!

Both sides are thorny existences!

Yuan Xueyue is clear about the difficulty of divorce, but man proposes, God disposes!

No matter what, she must go back to her old home and try!

She can’t be bound to the General’s Residence for the rest of her life!

“Xueyue, are we leaving?”

Guo Liangxian walked up to her and said, interrupting her thoughts.

Yuan Xueyue’s face was calm, and she walked past him towards the carriage.

On the way.

Guo Liangxian breathed a sigh of relief,

“Xueyue, you’ve really done well! You are truly my good wife!”

Yuan Xueyue’s face was cold and she didn’t want to pay attention to him.

If it weren’t for the fact that she still had to survive in the General’s Residence for a while, she wouldn’t bother managing this silver!

Since she still has to live there, she can’t just let it go!

After Guo Liangxian finished speaking, he wanted to reach out and hug her, but Yuan Xueyue blocked him with her hand!

“General, please show some respect. I just don’t want to let them take advantage. There are still three young masters in the residence to raise, and such a large family to support.”

“Taking sixty percent is indeed inappropriate,” Yuan Xueyue said.

Guo Liangxian didn’t mind her actions and whispered, “Then how dare you say that Lord Xiaozhao wants to see the account books?”

“Isn’t that too bold? Lord Xiaozhao, does he, does he know?”

Guo Liangxian was very nervous.

This Lord Xiaozhao, whom he himself didn’t dare to provoke or criticize, how dare Xueyue say such a thing?

If Lord Xiaozhao found out that he had been burdened with such a big matter for no reason, what would happen?

Would he blame him?

Seeing that Yuan Xueyue didn’t answer, Guo Liangxian said anxiously,

“Did Lord Xiaozhao say that to you when he talked to you that day? Is it appropriate to hide such a big matter from me?”

“Xueyue, you can actually get close to Brother Xiaozhao! It’s right to leave the manor to you to manage in the future. I will come and go often to hand over the records to you. You must handle them well!”

“Our General’s Residence not only needs strength, but also foundation!”

Guo Liangxian said confidently, feeling very proud of this.

Yuan Xueyue sneered inwardly. That’s not the case. That day, Lord Xiaozhao asked her about her background, probably just to understand.

As for the manor, doesn’t Lin Yan’er know how to manage it?

It seems that she has to meet this person face to face.

After returning to the residence, Second Uncle and Third Uncle had nothing to say.

They all closed their doors and didn’t come out. They ate in their own rooms and didn’t go to see Old Madam Nian to talk about anything.

Old Madam Nian sent Mama Cui to inquire, and they also prevaricated,

“We’ll pack up and leave in two days. We have to prepare for the New Year and other things. We’re very busy, so we won’t bother you.”

Old Madam Nian was shocked when she heard the news brought by Mama Cui.

What happened?

How come they have a plan so quickly after going out?

They didn’t make things difficult, right? What happened at the manor?

Old Madam Nian called Guo Liangxian and asked him in detail.

Yuan Xueyue also took this opportunity, and as soon as Guo Liangxian left, she said to Old Madam Nian,

“Mother-in-Law, since there is nothing wrong with the manor, and your daughter-in-law has been unable to produce an heir, I am truly ashamed of the General’s great love. Therefore, I will give the General two concubines tomorrow.”
